I too was banded on 12/20/08 and down 90 pds with NO FILLS. I was so glad to see that I am not the only one with NO FILLS. I am and have always been very comfortable with no fills and did not want to mess up what is going so well. I feel fantastic and there are several other people that were banded by Dr. Atkinson in Las Vegas that have had no fills with losing over 100 pds also. I feel very fortunate to be in this position with not having to play around with getting filled/unfilled repeatedly. My main focus has been controlling the mind hunger and portions and I do still fight the head demons when I get idle on weekends that rain or cannot get outside to do yard work. I thank God every day for the band and what it has done for me. Congrats to everybody on here that is doing well and for the ones that are not, you will get on the right track too, sometimes it takes a little longer for some people to figure this out.

Hey guys i just wanted to say thank god for the lap band i was banded on july 7th 2010 and as of march 2nd im down from 340 lbs to 189 lbs with no fills the best choice i ever made was to get this well i just wanted to share my story i hope all you guys gt great results to ---Brian

Hey Brian...thanks for the story! I feel encouraged hearing what you said. I am 6'2, 340 as of yesterday (the day I received my band). I really want to be around the 200 pound mark in a year. I keep seeing people talk about minimal weight loss so far and it's made me nervous. I want instant results of course. lol. Can you tell me what you've done to be so successful? Congrats and thank you again!!!!

Steven

I was just banded 3/2 and I have not had a fill yet. I am going in 4/12 for my first fill and I feel like I need it even though I have lost 20 lbs already. Did you guys ever have one fill and than never needed another one? or you just never had any fills since the band was put in?

That is so awesome - Way to GO!!! I am so excited to hear of all of you who have done this with no fills. I have a very very conservative doctor. I was banded on 2/7/11 and he won't even see me again until the middle of May and then will determine whether i need a fill or not. I have been very very worried about that, but now see that it is possible to lose without a fill. Thanks so much for sharing - i feel much more confident now.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
